[STEVIEG]

Bottler

Exactly Stevie.

He might as well be lauding that feen I saw doing keepy uppy on pana at Christmas time.

Dead right. I mean, look at that last one. He could have sent the full back off down the wing but instead he's dancing around on the ball going nowhere.

Good player but never did it on the big stage. Was too young at Barca and couldn't hack it, was disappointing at the WC 06 when the argies lost their way against germany.

Was good at Villarreal though, less pressure on him. Has a wicked free kick alright but not good enough overall to be highly rated.

Also his speed makes teddy sheringham look like Usain Bolt.

 

[SenorCarlsberg]

good player back in the day in championship Manager, Aimar was always more effective in the hole though.

Just like his ex-Villareal teammate and compatriot Martin Palermo, he'll be best remembered for missing that penalty..............or three in Palermo's case

 

[BlueSkies]

Fantastic player, but the team has to be built around him.

Agreed LP.
One of his problems was that while he was in Spain he always came across as a very shy and intoverted individual when being interviewed. Maybe it was a lack of self-belief that hampered his progress at Barcelona. Who knows!

He has won the equivalent of 3 European Cups.

He has won the equivalent of 3 European Cups.
